Bartolo Colon "Found," Still Mourning Michael Jackson
There's no visual evidence of Bartolo Colon's whereabouts—NASA is working on it—but the White Sox say he will pitch tonight. His "disappearance" was really just an aversion to phones and an inability to cope with MJ's passing. More » -

Ozzie Guillen Bids Farewell To His Personal Lord Voldemort
Reaction to Jay Mariotti's resignation from the Chicago Sun-Times continues to pour in — there hasn't been this much freewheeling glee since the announcement of the end of World War II — and of course Ozzie Guillen is leading the hurrahs. While admitting that his own tenure in Chicago most assuredly comes with an expiration date, the White Sox manager still could not hide his satisfaction with the way things have played out with his nemesis, the man he notoriously called "a f—-—- fag" in 2006.

Pester Ozzie Guillen Enough On E-mail And He Will Respond Accordingly
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen's verbal attacks on reporters, general managers, players, fans, and blow-up dolls are somewhat disturbing, if not highly entertaining for those of us who don't have to deal with them directly. But did you know you too can be eviscerated by Ozzie if you type with the appropriate amount of bile? More » -

White Sox Locker Room Is Not A Safe Environment For Women, Real Or Inflatable
Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox are now in the midst of being criticized (again) by some sports writers and the Association For Women In Sports Media for their creative blow-up doll, slump-busting shrine. The Association said said the shrine creates an "uncomfortable" environment for female sports writers in the locker room. Via the National Post, comes this description of the shrine which featured two female blow-up dolls:

Ozzie Guillen Does A Brilliant Ozzie Guillen Impersonation
Perhaps it's appropriate that Ozzie Guillen would unleash one of his patented expletive-filled tirades on Chicago fans, the Cubs, and media outlets just a few short days removed from the 25th anniversary of Lee Elia's epic f-bomb ranting. Maybe it was an homage. But more likely it was just Ozzie Guillien being his usual colorful self. More » -

Jay The Joke: For All Your Jay Mariotti Mocking Needs
For skewering of our friend Jay Mariotti, quite frankly, we like to think we take a back seat to no one. Well, excepting perhaps Jay the Joke, a new blog dedicated to, as they put it "uniting Cubs fans and Sox fans through a common hatred of Jay Mariotti." And in so doing, does this blog not unite us all? Of course we chronicled the existence of Jay the Joke last week, which helped prompt this mention in the Chicago Tribune, which is always good: More » -

The Manly, Manly Sports Reporters
So we've been noticing something goofy going on with the coverage of the Ozzie Guillen-Jay Mariotti story; on the whole, the sturm und drang seems to be directed away from Guillen, who, after all, is Ozzie Guillen, a guy whose rantings whom we all kind of accept like the drunk uncle at Thanksgiving who's convinced the reason he can't hold down a job is because of immigration. Whaddya gonna do? He is who he is. More » -

A Helpful Tip For Ozzie Guillen, And It's Free
Last night, before yet another brutal pasting of the Cardinals — hey, look, the White Sox just put another 10-spot on the board, and it's only noon! — White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen apologized for his reference to Chicago Sun-Times and "Around The Horn" "reporter" Jay Mariotti as a "fag," but not to Mariotti, saying, "Nobody likes that man here. I don't care what he thinks about me. Jerry [Reinsdorf] talked to me and said I should [think] about the word I used. [But Mariotti] is a piece of garbage, he always has been garbage and always will be garbage." More » -

Ozzie's Rules
We know that in baseball, you're supposed to do what your manager tells you to do. Especially if you're a rookie. But what if your manager is about a half dozen different kinds of crazy and is named Ozzie Guillen? And what if the order is to go out and hit an opponent with a pitch? At what point do you go all Michael J. Fox in Casualties of War and say, "No, Sarge."? More » -

Freddy Garcia's Offseason Training
A Venezuelan newspaper is reporting that White Sox pitcher Freddy Garcia tested positive for marijuana during the World Baseball Classic. Major League Baseball, knowing that three-quarters of every pitching staff in the game would test positive, doesn't test for weed, but Garcia could receive a suspension from international play for as long as two years. But no problems with MLB ... or with the White Sox, for that matter.

America, Meet Ozzie Guillen
We know FOX is disappointed that neither the Red Sox nor the Yankees are in the championship series for only the second time in eight years, but that's no reason for anyone to fret. As we've mentioned before, we couldn't possibly be more excited that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen is going to have primo prime-time real estate for the next week, at least. So you know some of Ozzie's history, he makes his email address public, he has a devoted fan site from back when people were writing Web code in BASIC and he loves to out "homosexuals" and "child molestors. The odds are good that he will offer to quit at least three times in the ALCS, and/or pick fights with Frank Thomas/Damaso Marte/Magglio Ordonez/Laura Bush. Oh, and Oddjack needs to put down some numbers about how many times he says fuck in that third-inning interview segment. It's gonna be awesome. More » -
